The Godmother of Punk says she would like two "unknowns" to star in a potential big screen version of 'Just Kids'

Patti Smith has revealed that she wouldn’t want Charlotte Gainsbourg to play her in a potential future film adaptation of her memoir Just Kids.

In the video, which you can watch above, the singer says that while the actress – who has been tipped to play the punk icon – would be “ideal” for the role, she would want two “unknown” actors to play her and her friend, the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, whom the book centres around.
